At the same time. the legislation we brought forward recognizes the importance of the American worker because even under the temporary guest worker program. which is a controversial issue being debated on this floor. what we have said in that part of the legislation is that a job has to be advertised first to the American worker and that if an American anywhere is willing and ready to take that job. it will not be available to somebody who would come in under the temporary guest worker program. So the economic issues. the national security issues. the human and moral issues which are at stake in this debate are some of the most important issues we face. I am hopeful that colleagues. working together in the Senate for the remainder of this week. will be able to come to a successful conclusion with respect to immigration reform legislation. Mr. President.
